Harding faces Burns for Peoria County board seat By BILL KNIGHT
Peoria County’s District 16 includes all or parts of Elmwood, Logan, Rosefield and Trivoli Townships, and it’s one of the few contested races in the County. Incumbent Brad Harding, a 57-year-old Trivoli farmer and part-time media consultant, is a Republican who graduated from Farmington High School and earned degrees from Illinois Central College and Illinois State University. Married with three children, Harding For The Weekly Post
Harding, Burns in Elmwood Saturday
ELMWOOD – Peoria County Board District 16 incumbent Brad Harding and challenger Dick Burns will appear here Saturday (Oct. 18) in a candidate forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Greater Peoria at Morrison & Mary
says he’s a Peoria County Weather Spotter active with the Farm Bureau and the Trivoli United Methodist Church. He was first elected in 2008.
Wiley Library. Roberta Parks, former president of the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce, will moderate the 10 a.m. forum between Democrat Burns and Republican Harding. The forum is free and open to the public.
Challenger Dick Burns, 67, is a Kickapoo farmer, cattleman and Burrus Seed regional sales manager. A Democrat who earned a degree from the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign after serving in Vietnam with the Marine Corps, he’s married with one child. Burns says he’s involved with 4H, the American Legion, the Peoria County Beef Association, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The Weekly Post asked both candidates two questions. Here are their responses: Question: Peoria County faces an estimated $3.5 million shortfall. Should Heddington Oaks be examined as an expen-
diture that should be cut, or should the County protect the home as meeting one of the County’s expressed goals (providing a safe and healthy community, a healthy living environment, a high performing public organization and high quality public facilities). Harding: Neither. Peoria County taxpayers own our $90 million Long Term Care Facility, Heddington Oaks, and we will not pay off the bonds for 29 years. It’s ours no matter what. Continued on Page 7
Elmwood home for a hero gets new donations
PRINCEVILLE HOMECOMING
By JEFF LAMPE
ELMWOOD – Thanks to strong support from the local community, construction is likely to start here next spring on a new home for a U.S. veteran. Organizers Gerri Pettit and Georgia Stevens of Elmwood have been working since spring to find a property and to raise funds for the Elmwood Military Build, the second project under Rep. Aaron Shock’s Habitat For Heroes initiative. The first home was built this Pettit summer in Morton. In recent weeks efforts have taken off with donations for the South Locust St. home coming from contractors, tradesmen, businessmen and citizens. “It has gone very well and the community has Stevens been great in their response,” Stevens said. “We did our first mailing recently and we’ve got a real good response from that.” In addition to financial donations, the Elmwood Military Build has also received an impressive list of donated labor and materials, including: Weekly Post Staff Writer

Brimfield-Jubilee bridge should reopen soon By BILL KNIGHT
BRIMFIELD – A long drive is almost over for several Peoria County residents. Peoria County crews working on the Brimfield-Jubilee Bridge last week finished placing rip-rap in the ditches and placement of the entrance culverts, and resident engineer Bill For The Weekly Post
Pearsall said he hopes to re-open the span by the end of this month, depending on weather. “It was a busy week on the job site,” he said. “They also completed grading for the roadway and began placing the aggregate to pave the road on.” This week the contractor will continue to place aggregate for the road
and possibly pave the road with asphalt by Friday, he told The Weekly Post. “As we get closer to the end of the job, there will be a few small items to work on after the road is paved before the road can be opened,” Pearsall noted. “Again, thank you for your patience and cooperation during this project.”

Vote ‘No’ on Peoria referendum questions To the Editor: There are two referendum questions initiated by Peoria County on the Nov. 4 ballot, both which I would strongly recommend a “no” vote. The first question is the elimination of the Recorder of Deeds position and merging it with the County Clerk’s office. At first glance, it might appear to reduce the size of the government. Think again. When I came on the County Board, we were almost broke, having to borrow money to make payroll. We reduced our work force to make budget and build our reserves. Our employees all sacrificed including the Recorder of Deeds office. Their employees were cut from 11 employees to 8 which is about a 30 percent reduction. Those in favor of the referendum now say we can eliminate the Recorder and Deputy – a 25 percent reduction – and still deliver the same services. That is a pipe dream. This office brings in $2 million in revenue annually and is recognized as one of the more efficient Recorder of Deeds offices in the state of Illinois. Furthermore, other counties who have made this change have saved little or no money and have had multiple recording errors. The question is, do we need an elected Recorder? The answer is absolutely. I would much rather trust the voters than put it in the hands of government. If the office is running at its best, why change success? The other ballot question is the establishment of a Peoria County Board of Election Commissioners. For several years I have supported the elimination of the City Elec-

tion Commission and moving all election services into the County Clerk’s office, which would yield true quantified county savings. This referendum doesn’t do that, and will most likely cost the County more money. Instead, it creates another layer of election workers, who have little to do the remainder of the year. Furthermore, our States’ Attorney issued a memo to the County Board that the funding of this new Commission is unclear and two provisions are possibly unconstitutional. I would never vote for an initiative upon receiving that kind of warning. This is a watered down effort of what the County has desired to accomplish and was hastily thrown together at the last minute in darkness. All of our countywide elected officials, Sheriff McCoy, Jerry Brady, Johnna Ingersoll, Steve Sonnemaker, Nancy Horton, Robert Spears, Carol Van Winkle, Elizabeth Derry and Tripp O’Connor sent a letter to the County Board members urging a no vote on both referendum questions. Please join them and Carol Trumpe, Bob Baietto, Paul Rosenbohm, Brad Harding and myself in voting no and doing things the right way. – Brian Elsasser Peoria County Board
Chris Zimmerman was committed to Elmwood
To the Editor: I wanted to speak out on behalf of Chris Zimmerman. I found him energetic and committed to making Elmwood grow and work. I think we should all take a moment to pause, reflect, and pray if
that suits your spirit. Often we allow the frustrations of the moment to undermine the long-term future. If you are possessed of a Christian spirit then you will recognize the need for a little grace and forgiveness at times. In every disagreement both sides will have a valid point of view, and each side must compromise a little, if everyone is to achieve a positive result. I am not directly involved in this and I purposely avoid listening to rumor milling. I do know in any personality clash, if you take the heat out, a rational solution can be found. I think everyone involved needs to take the Red Green pledge: I’m a man, and I can change, if I have to. I would apply some variant for any women involved as well. The Zimmermans are a fine young family and working in a new position where the roles and methods of the position are still being defined would be difficult for anyone. If you can’t pray at least meditate on having reconciliation. Elmwood’s image is suffering; our community will not shake off being viewed as one where parochial private interests are prevailing over the common good. I would encourage all involved to seek an outside and dispassionate mediator. Work out a plan of reconciliation and Elmwood could have a long rewarding future ahead of it. The first step is always the hardest for all parties to admit they might have reacted or behaved not in the best interest of the community. – Steve Davis, Elmwood

A date that never happened, thankfully I’ll admit that I had my doubts about the date, way before it happened. See, my friend Soupy and his wife Denise seem to think that I need a female in my life to make me happy. Three previous attempts to set me up with blind dates haven’t been total disasters, in the same way that the Titanic had a small Jon leak. GALLAGHER Their latest attempt showed promise. The woman, a paralegal from the Bloomington area, was anxious to meet me. Denise had shown her my Facebook page so she could see pictures of me. Usually my face is enough to send most women in the opposite direction at a very rapid pace. Not Linda. She saw what I looked like and was still interested.
The trio arrived at my apartment mid-afternoon. We were headed into Peoria for a meal, then a movie. Linda and I would have a few hours to decide if we’d like to try a second date. The first hour would happen at my place as we got to know each other with Soupy and Denise gently guiding our conversation. I’d seen her picture and she wasn’t ugly, and she wasn’t pretty. She wasn’t even pretty ugly. She was just normal. I have never judged someone on their outward appearance (when you look like me, you learn not to do that real fast), but rather on their personality. I’ve always done pretty well. Denise would tell me later that Linda didn’t like my stairway. I live in an upper apartment and there’s a long, steep stairway to reach it. In fact, it became the first sign that we weren’t going to get along very well. Linda was quite cool when we
were introduced. There was a limp handshake – no hug, no kiss on the cheek, no other kind of greeting, affectionate or not, not even a smile. The first thing she seemed to lock in on was the tube that led from my face to a generator that sat on the side of the room, humming away and supplying me with my muchneeded oxygen. The four of us sat around my kitchen table, and I served lemonade. Linda took a small sip (I think she pretended) before leaving it. Pleasantries were exchanged and she told me about her job with the law firm. When she asked what I did, I recapped some of my jobs, but told her that I was now disabled because of the COPD and emphysema. This didn’t sit well with her. She didn’t understand why I couldn’t still go out and get a job. She made it sound like I was on welfare. Then she pointed toward one of Continued on Page 6
Take time to learn about judges before voting To the Editor: On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Illinois voters will have a chance to cast their ballots in the general election. In addition to voting for candidates for national and statewide offices, they will have a chance to vote for judges. Learning about the judicial candidates can be difficult, and all too frequently, voters choose to skip voting for these candidates rather than take the time to learn about them. That’s unfortunate because judges have a huge impact on our lives. They strive to ensure that the law is fairly imposed, deciding for example who will have custody of your children or whether to punish someone who is convicted of a crime. The best judges are impartial, committed to public service, nonpartisan, empathetic, fair and extremely knowledgeable about the law. Thankfully, there are ways to
learn about judges running for election and retention. Bar association evaluations and newspaper endorsements are reliable, independent and relevant sources of information about the candidates’ qualifications. All candidates for Illinois judicial offices who won in the March 18 primary election have been rated by Illinois State Bar Association evaluations committees, or in a poll of lawyers conducted by the ISBA. Results are available at www.isba.org/judicialevaluations. In counties outside Cook, the advisory poll is conducted by mail and is sent to all ISBA members in the circuit or district from which a candidate seeks election. Licensed attorneys who are not members of ISBA, or any attorney outside the circuit or district, may request a ballot. Opinions expressed in the poll are of those attorneys who chose to respond and do not reflect the opin-

GALLAGHER: Magic skills failed to impress Continued from Page 5
my walls. I’ve covered it in posters and photographs of famous and not-so-famous magicians. Some of the posters are autographed. There’s a picture of me, my first wife, my oldest daughter (less than a year old in the photo) and David Copperfield. I explained that I had spent more than 40 years doing magic and had at one time made my living at it. She waved her hand around to indicate my apartment and said, “Not a very good living obviously.” She went on to tell me that most guys grow out of their “magic stage” by the time they hit 16. After that, they become just “creepy.” Soupy tried to rescue things by telling her I had been recognized as one of the top sleight-of-hand artists in the United States and asked if I could just show her something. She refused faster than I could. She made fun of my counted cross-stitch projects that I’m working on. She made fun of the way my place was decorated. She didn’t have anything nice to say at all. I was proud of the way I held my tongue. Years ago, I would have
told her off and left little to the imagination. Now in my elderly years, I’ve become mellower. Then she insulted my kids. She pointed toward a picture of my three daughters. There’s a 20year difference between my oldest and my youngest. She pointed this out and blurted out, “I don’t have any idea why you’d want to start all over again! I never would have!” She asked me if my older two daughters were embarrassed that their dad had become a father again. “Of course not!” I said. “They thought it was very cool!” I mentioned that my oldest daughter and my wife had been pregnant at the same time, at which point she realized I was a grandfather. You could see the color drain out of her face. Soupy and Denise tried a lastditch effort to salvage this train wreck by suggesting that we take off for dinner and the movie. Maybe they thought that the more enclosed space of their backseat might be a more conducive atmosphere for cultivating a friendship. Ha! Linda gathered her purse and
said, “We can go like we planned, but I can tell you right now, there won’t be a second date. How could I ever tell my co-workers, especially the attorneys, that I’m dating a disabled grandpa who has a 10year-old daughter and still plays with magic sets?” Game, set, match. Most people have a thing in their brain that keeps them from saying things like she said, but hers was obviously on vacation. I told mine to take a few minutes off as well. “I’m not going to go,” I announced. “It’d be a waste of time. Linda, you are possibly the most shallow woman I’ve met in my life. I wouldn’t want to be seen with you. In fact, when you leave here, would you mind slipping a bag over your head so no one will recognize you coming out of my place?” A half hour later, Soupy called from Peoria. They’d dropped her off at her car after Denise had read her the riot act most of the way there. They still wanted to buy me dinner. “After your performance,” he said, “we’ll take you anywhere in town or out. That was awesome.”

ELECTION: A plan for Heddington Oaks? Continued from Page 1
The only sustainable solution I see is to privatize the daily operations. We own the building and we can hire a private company to run Heddington Oaks, much like we own the Riverfront Museum and we hire outside professionals to run that complex. This option helps us reduce or eliminate our worker’s comp and legal liability exposure. It will also reduce or eliminate our pension obligations and puts Heddington Oaks on par with marketplace costs. This idea is not yet vetted and before I will endorse such a move, a thorough study and review process must be completed. But I believe it merits immediate consideration. Burns: I do not believe funding for Heddington Oaks should be cut. I am proud that the County embraces the value in caring for our elderly population, and that the elderly are taking advantage of the services provided by the home. As Heddington Oaks reaches its full capacity and enjoys strong
management, it’s even more apparent that it is truly a community asset for current and future residents. Q: What do you see as the difference(s) between you and your opponent? Burns: I offer two qualities that Peoria County’s 16th District deserves in its representative on the County Board: (1) communication skills and (2) leadership skills. Throughout my life I have lived by the philosophy that communication (both listening and speaking) is the beginning of understanding. My ability to understand what is best for our community and provide thoughtful comments to the discussion is a much-needed and valuable skill I will offer the Board and residents of the 16th District. Supporting my communication skills is my leadership ability. Now is the time for this community to have a representative who will do more than speak about an issue, but instead will lead the discussion, build consensus, and create change benefitting Western Peoria County’s families, farmers and

Book fair coming to Billtown school library
WILLIAMSFIELD – All preschool to high school students, parents, grandparents, teachers and other book lovers are invited to “enter the kingdom of books� next week. The “Sir Readalot’s Castle� Scholastic Book Fair opens for sales on Oct. 22 and 23 at the Williamsfield School Library. The fair offers books for grades pre-
school through high school. Youth, as well as relatives and friends, are invited to shop the fair. All book fair sales benefit Williamsfield School. Up to 50 percent of every purchase earns credit to buy books for the school library. Book fair hours are 7:30 to 9 a.m. and 2:30 to 7 p.m. Oct. 22 and 7:30 to 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Oct. 23.

Knox County SWCD holding fall fish sale
The Knox County SWCD is conducting a fall fish sale. Grass carp orders are due today (Oct. 16) and all other orders are due Oct. 24. Order pick-up will be Friday, Oct. 31 at 10:30 a.m. at the USDA building. Visit knoxcountyswcd.tri-
businesses. I am the best person to represent Peoria County’s 16th District. Harding: I believe there are many similarities between Mr. Burns and myself as well as important differences. We both enjoy family farming as an occupation and way of life. We both share the benefits of married life and children. We both come from rural roots and understand the country way of living. We both care deeply about our Country and County. And I believe we both possess a desire to give back to Peoria County. As far as differences, I have six years experience as a Peoria County Board Member with an understanding of the problems and remedies. I am a fiscally conservative Republican. My re-election represents a “Balance the Board� opportunity which forces bipartisanship and breaks the one-party rule we have had for a quarter century. My re-election offers an opportunity for a Republican Board Chair, which I believe will bring fiscal soundness and responsibility.

FARM & FIELD
Got corn? How about storage?
As discussed in a recent column, Illinois farmers are on track to set new production records for this year’s corn and soybean crops. That means we will see a lot of semi-trucks on the roads hauling the grain to storage. Assuming one of the semi-trucks you end up following is hauling 850 bushels of corn, it would take nearly 3 million of those trucks to haul this year’s Illinois corn crop. Even the much smaller soybean crop would need about 700,000 semis. So, expect to Bill see a lot of grain BAILEY trucks on the road. As good as the news of a record crop is, the abundance does present a problem – where to store this year’s crop? The crop will be needed all year long, so the abundance from harvest needs to find someplace to spend part, or all, of the next 12 months, until the next harvest. This could prove to be a challenge, particularly if the weather remains good and harvesting continues at a rapid pace. Corn and soybeans have two places to be stored – on-farm and off-farm. About half of this year’s Illinois corn crop could fit into existing off-farm storage facilities – the grain elevators that mark the skyline of many small Illinois towns. The other half of the crop could be stored on-farm, in one of the grain bins some Illinois farmers have near their home. And the remainder of the state’s
Page 9
storage capacity, either on-farm or offfarm, could accommodate the soybean crop. So, if all of the on farm and off farm storage facilities were empty and ready to accept this year’s crop, storage problems could be kept in check. But those facilities are not empty because there is still some of last year’s crop in storage. So, taking into account corn left from last year’s harvest and this year’s record crop, is there a storage problem? A recent report, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, helps answer that question. Nationwide, on Sept. 1, the amount of corn still in storage was 50 percent larger than last Sept. 1, 2013. All states, in the report, had significantly more corn in storage this year than last year except for one – Illinois. While Iowa’s corn stocks increased from 2013 levels by 30 percent and Indiana’s doubled, Illinois corn stocks declined by 10 percent – freeing up a lot of needed storage. During times of huge crops and limited storage, it is not unusual to see corn stored outside. In the past, you may have seen these piles of corn, after harvest, around the state. For short periods of time, the experts say outside storage does not hurt the quality of the corn. However, given the availability of storage, it is doubtful that much corn will need to be stored outside. But there still will be a lot of trucks on the road, helping move the corn from the field to a new home.

ECF honors Strawberry Fest founders By JEFF LAMPE
ELMWOOD – The trio who made strawberries synonymous with Elmwood were honored Saturday at the annual Elmwood Community Foundation banquet at the First Presbyterian Church. Named as Citizens of the Year in Elmwood were Pat McGuire, Diane Ladd and Denise Hotz. The trio started planning for Elmwood’s Strawberry Festival 26 years ago and ran the annual June event through this year. “Our goal from the beginning was to promote Elmwood and what we have here in this small town,” McGuire said. “It was a Weekly Post Staff Writer

labor of love and all three of us became very close friends because of it.” No new organizer has yet stepped forward to run the festival, though McGuire said the trio would gladly help anyone who volunteered for the job. A crowd of nearly 100 attended
the banquet. Proceeds will be used to hire high school students next summer to work for the Elmwood Historical Society and the ECF. Past recipients of the ECF award include Gerry Shaheen, a former Caterpillar vice president, and Wayne Slone, former chairman and CEO of CILCO.
Nov. 1 and Aug. 31, 2015, also passed 16-1. Weekly Post-area Board member Brad Harding (R-Dist. 16) was the only nay vote on those resolutions and two others, saying afterward he didn’t have confidence in the County’s administration. About $2 million could be saved, according to County Administrator Lori Curtis Luther, who outlined two additional steps: a hiring freeze after vacancies occur and an outside consultant’s recommendations following an evaluation of the County’s efficiency. “Other methods to reduce the workforce have not been dismissed,” she noted. Asked about impacts on services, Luther conceded it’s unclear. “That’s a good question,” she said. “That should be incorporated [into future actions].” Board member Andrew Rand (DDist. 4) added, “We want to be right-sizing government without it being a slaughter.” To meet the remaining shortfall, the County may add $750,000 in revenue by upping user fees, and the Sheriff’s Office could generate about $250,000 more by charging
more to hold federal inmates. The County Highway Department also is facing a deficit of another $1.6 million. The 2015 budget may be considered at the Nov. 13 meeting. In other business, the Board voted to: • authorize the sale of re-funding bonds to re-fund 2007 and 2008 bonds, which the Finance and Legislative Committee estimates will save the County almost $76,000; • approve a $401,669 contract with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc., of Peoria for preliminary engineering for Dirksen Parkway by the Gen. Wayne A. Downing Peoria International Airport; • name the County Jail complex the George P. Shadid Law Enforcement Center after the former Peoria city policeman, County Sheriff, and State Senator; and • urge the Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to define “waters of the United States” in accordance with recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings, continue the current exemption for road ditches and explicitly exempt green spaces used for storm water management.

PEORIA – The Peoria County Board on Thursday (Oct. 9) approved measures offering cash incentives to workers to voluntarily retire by the end of next year as part of a plan to tackle a $3.5 million budget shortfall. Due to flat or declining property values and sales taxes, plus rising prices – especially personnel costs – County revenues are up about 2 percent but spending is up 3 percent annually, according to County Board member Mike Phelan (DDist. 9). Phelan chairs the Management Services Committee, which recommended the incentives to cut 40 full-time employees. With the absence of Board Member Carol Trumpe (R-Dist. 15), the Board voted 16-1 on a voluntary retirement package offering employees $10,000 plus $35,000 for a pre-tax health reimbursement account to retire. The arrangement is subject to bargaining with affected unions. Workers would have to decide between Oct. 22 and Dec. 8.

Illuminating minds & fields at Billtown By BILL KNIGHT
WILLIAMSFIELD – The Board of Education unanimously approved establishing a “Light the Fields” fund after an Oct. 8 Summer Ball Association meeting resulted in that group’s donation of $500 to the school to start a drive to replace or erect lights on two of the District’s three ballfields. “We are currently exploring a variety of options to replace the lights For The Weekly Post

on the softball diamond and install new lights on the baseball field,” said Superintendent Tim Farquer. “The Ball Association is exploring the idea of having a significant fund raiser this spring/ summer and establishing a formal goal and timeline for reaching our funding needs. “We plan to provide a way for alumni to donate to the project online,” added Farquer, who said a vendor estimate will be used to set the goal. In connection with the fields, two loads of balldiamond dirt were recently distributed on each of the schools’ fields. Mike Mackie volunteered
a day of service to spread the material. Inside the school, the District’s approach to the Response To Intervention (RtI) and PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) was recently outlined in Farquer’s showcase piece, “A Voice from the Field” on www.parcconline.org. The school’s implementation plan stresses “giving time back to kids,” as PARCC CEO Laura Slover said.

Elmwood council considering present, future of staffing needs By BILL KNIGHT
ELMWOOD – The City Council at a special meeting Monday afternoon discussed immediate plans to continue work formerly handled by Chris Zimmerman, fired as Economic Development Coordinator and Zoning/Building Code Officer on Oct. 7, and also to start evaluating future staffing needs. Water Committee chair Jared Howerton (Ward 3) is calling a committee meeting to consider arranging for a temporary worker to assist City Clerk Melissa Morris with paperwork ranging from water department duties to building permits. They may have recommendations for the Council as early as Tuesday (Oct. 21). Meanwhile, Economic Development Committee For The Weekly Post
chair Jeff Lampe (Ward 2) is scheduling a session next month to address ongoing city issues ranging from the RevolvingLoan Fund and a proposed County Enterprise Zone to whether or not to revisit hiring another Economic Development Officer. “For Elmwood to remain viable, there has to be someone to do these things,” said Dick Taylor, retired Administrator and Economic Development Officer, who was in attendance at the meeting. “It’s critical.” Citing unplanned contacts from business people and planned work such as grant applications and construction engineers, Taylor said it’s important that a city representative can be reached and not met with a promise to have a call returned after City offi-
cials get off work. “You’d run the risk of dropping out of the race if you don’t have someone doing that work,” Taylor said. “I don’t want to see things slip back.” This week, the Zoning Board is hearing two cases, and Morris will represent the City and use recommendations prepared by consultant Patricia Landes from the Maurer-Stutz engineering firm from Peoria.

Farmington to break ground on solar project on Oct. 20 By MICHELLE SHERMAN
FARMINGTON – The Farmington Central Community Unit School District 265 will break ground on its solar panel project on Monday (Oct. 20), with work projected to begin the following week. Steven Smith, director of business development for Farnsworth Group, told the Board of Education on Monday (Oct. 13) that he has met with the contractor the firm hopes to partner with to install the 2,600-module solar array, and that the bid came in “under expectations.” He did not, however, want to make the contractor’s name public as a formal agreement had yet to be signed. A groundbreaking event will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the school. Smith said the equipment is set to be delivered the following week, and, if the weather holds out, he hopes to complete the project before the end of the first semester. District 265 was awarded a $1.15million grant from the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation to construct the array, which is projected to provide roughly one-third of annual energy needs. The remaining $800,000 of the project’s cost will be bonded out to district taxpayers over the next seven years. The board voted Monday to transfer For The Weekly Post
$1,692 from the working cash fund to the bond and interest fund to cover interest that has accrued on the bonds since their purchase. An additional $733,000 transfer was approved into the site and construction fund to cover the district’s portion of the solar panel project. Smith added that word is circulating to other Illinois schools about District 265’s project, as he has had three districts contact him wanting to pursue similar grants. “I think you’re really going to put yourself on the map more than you already are” once this project is complete, he said. In other business the board: • Approved the transfer of $67,000 to the education fund to cover future network switches and wireless access points. • Approved updates to board policies that return the terms of board members to two years. • Approved the FFA’s trip to a national conference in Louisville, Ky., scheduled for Oct. 29 to Nov. 1. • Approved a one-year snow removal contract with Arrenholz Excavating. • Approved the 2015 emergency plan. • Announced that anyone wishing to run for the board should pick up a packet at the Peoria County Courthouse. There are four board positions up for election this spring.

There are three ways to initiate change to the Illinois Constitution: (1) a constitutional convention may propose changes to any part; (2) the General Assembly may propose changes to any part; or (3) a petition initiative may propose amendments limited to structural and procedural subjects contained in the Legislative Article. The people of Illinois must approve any changes to the Constitution before they become effective.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO SECTION 8.1 OF ARTICLE I OF THE ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE I – BILL OF RIGHTS SECTION 8.1. CRIME VICTIMS’ VICTIM’S RIGHTS.
(a) Crime victims, as defined by law, shall have the following rights as provided by law: (1) The right to be treated with fairness and respect for their dignity and privacy and to be free from harassment, intimidation, and abuse throughout the criminal justice process.

EXPLANATION
The Constitution sets forth substantial rights for crime victims. The proposed amendment expands certain current rights: 1) Victims are currently entitled to fairness and respect throughout the criminal justice process. The amendment would also provide that they shall be protected from harassment, intimidation and abuse. 2) Victims currently can make a statement to the court when a criminal defendant is sentenced to punishment. The amendment would allow a victim to be heard at any proceeding that involves the victim’s rights, and any proceeding involving a plea agreement, release of the defendant or convicted individual, or sentencing. 3) Victims may obtain information about conviction, sentencing, imprisonment or release. The amendment would require prosecutors and the court to notify victims of those events before they happen.
The amendment would also grant additional rights to crime victims: 1) A victim would have a right to formal notice and a hearing before the court rules on any request for access to the victim’s information which is privileged or confidential information. 2) A victim would have the right to have the judge consider the victim’s safety and the safety of his or her family before deciding whether to release a criminal defendant, setting the amount of bail to be paid before release, or setting conditions of release after arrest or conviction. 3) The victim would have the right to assert his or her rights in any court with jurisdiction over the criminal case, but would not have the same rights as the prosecutor or the criminal defendant and the court could not appoint an attorney for the victim at taxpayer expense.
The proposed amendment would not alter the powers, duties or responsibilities of the prosecutor. Further, a criminal defendant would not be able to challenge his or her conviction on the basis of a failure to follow these provisions. Explanation of Amendment

Lawsuit filed against Rosefield Township for road maintenance By BILL KNIGHT
ROSEFIELD – Township Road Commissioner Matt Windish might feel that he’s “damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t” after a third court action against him was filed recently. Unlike two previous lawsuits, which claim Windish did too much work on land adjacent to Township roads, the latest filing seeks a court order to make Windish do more on a stretch of road formerly maintained by Logan TownFor The Weekly Post

ship. James Michael Innes of Hanna City on Oct. 1 filed a complaint with the Peoria County Circuit Clerk’s office alleging Windish and Rosefield Township “has failed to maintain” an area of Greengold Road north of Hanna City. The filing claims “by agreement between Logan Township and Rosefield Township” the property “is to legally be maintained by Rosefield Township,” but it’s “almost impassable,” depriving Innes access to the property.
Innes is requesting the court direct Windish to maintain the road to ensure access to the property. Meanwhile, the head of the Township Officials of Illinois says such legal actions are unusual. “It’s certainly not a common thing,” said TOI executive director Bryan Smith. “It can become kind of frivolous.” A hearing is set for March 2, 2015. Winter prep – After the usual seasonal mowing, tree trimming and brush removal, township trucks are prepared for

snow-plow duties, reported Windish at Rosefield Township meeting on Wednesday (Oct. 8). Also, a hoist has been upgraded and plans to install and clearing area culverts is scheduled, he added. Seal-coating throughout the Township has been completed for the year, costing about $80,000 out of Motor Fuel Tax funds, leaving about $30,000 in reserve. Meanwhile, trustees approved trading a mower in order to purchase a new mower next spring.

kids told us, ‘They’re big and they’re strong.’ ” Farmington also played without leading rusher and top defender Max Balagna, who sprained his ankle midway through the first quarter. He did not return and Vallas termed Balagna as “doubtful” for Friday at Peoria Heights. “He’s a special player, but that’s not why we lost,” Vallas said. Actually, Farmington moved the ball well on offense without its top back, rolling to 198 yards rushing and another 165 through the air. Quarterback Steven Gilstrap had a big night, rushing for 46 yards and passing for 120. And the Farmers were up 6-0 early and within 14-12 after one quarter. “At times our defense was very good, but there were other times we got ourselves out of position,” E-B coach Todd Hollis said. “And I was impressed with (Gilstrap). He

threw the ball better than I expected and he can move.” But while E-B struggled to contain Gilstrap and bruising fullback Kody Martinez, the Farmers could not stop E-B runners Layne Wyatt and Donovan McCoy. Wyatt ran for 214 yards on 16 carries and gained another 84 on
E-B XC 4th, 6th at Amboy
AMBOY – The Elmwood-Brimfield boys cross country team placed fourth at Monday’s Amboy Cross Country Invitational behind winner Monticello, runner-up Sterling Newman and Johnsburg. The E-B girls placed sixth in a strong finish. “Our split from 1-4 runner was down to 13 seconds and overall we ran pretty well,” E-B boys coach Gregg Meyers said. “We’ve just got a lot of ground to make up.” Nate Herridge was 15th in
15:31.7 to lead E-B, Matt Osmulski was 19th (15:36.4), Derek McCoy was 24th (15:43.5), Kelly Hoffmann was 26th (15:44.9) and TJ Meyers was 58th (16:41.1). Emily McCauley was the top girls finisher at 27th (19:02.1), while Kendra Gorham was 38th (19:33.2), Cassie Karn was 44th (19:44.3), Hannelore Book was 58th (20:05.3) and Taylor Armbruster placed 64th (20:14.5) – one spot ahead of Princeville’s JaNae Knobloch (20:13.4).
four catches, two of which went for TDs of 35 and 23 yards. McCoy continued his recent hard running with 111 yards and two TDs on 22 carries. Hollis credited both runners, but also praised strong blocking. “(Brad) Demmin and (Brad) Novak are the double team at the point of attack and I can’t tell you how many times their man was 15 yards downfield,” he said. Hollis said playing a strong offense is helpful heading into Friday’s meeting with A-Town (7-0), which is outscoring foes 53-8. “They have very talented skill players and run either a spread offense or a wishbone – a very odd combination,” Hollis said. “(Farmington) gave us plenty to work on.” The Farmers face an easier task Friday at winless Peoria Heights, losing by an average tally of 52-7.

PRINCES: Held A-W to just 118 total yards
ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Kyle Totton, Elmwood
Elmwood High School tight end, cornerback, small forward and centerfielder Kyle “Tott” Totton is an athlete with constant positive energy that has been very good for his teammates! When Kyle was very young, he always had a football, basketball, or baseball in hand ... thus the beginning. His favorite part of playing football is receiving a pass. When playing baseball he most likes base running and while playing basketball he just enjoys the game in general. But the commonality in all these sports for Kyle is that he’s having fun and working hard at practices and games. “Tott” points to Coaches Johnson, Porter, and his parents Frank and Donna Totton who’ve supported him in his stellar athletic career. When not practicing, competing, or studying his favorite subject of chemistry, Kyle is watching sports or hanging around with friends, including some teammates. “Tott” is a big U of Georgia football fan. He also supports the Bears and Bulls of Chicago. Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green is his favorite athlete. Being the consummate teammate, Kyle’s biggest thrills have been contributing to three-time Prairieland football champs, the Trojans, and playing for the 2014 Regional Baseball Champs, the BE Indians. “Tott” was honored as an all-conference tight end for his junior season. He advises younger athletes, “Never be content at your sport.” Senior Kyle Totton has too much energy to just be content! – Phil Johnson

fensive side of the ball. A-W managed just 4 yards passing and 114 yards rushing, including a 34-yard run by James Reed in the third quarter. “(Reed) is one of those kids whenever he touches the ball you hold your breath,” Carruthers said. “But we kept him bottled up for most of the night. Our pursuit was good and we had a lot of guys flying to the football.” Princeville also took advantage of turnovers, including an interception by John Remmert and a forced fumble by Mitchell Janssen, recovered by Matt Thole. “We told them the Reed kid carried the ball kind of loose and Janssen came in from the side and popped it out,” Carruthers said. Marshall Martin led Princeville with 11 tackles while Janssen had eight stops and defensive tackle Brett Delbridge added seven.

“Our defensive line played one of their best games,” Carruthers said. “Stone Eads and Delbridge did a good job collapsing the line.” On offense, Princeville started strong, marching downfield in its first possession to grab a 7-0 lead on Janssen’s 12-yard pass to Michael Sheets. From there the Princes managed a safety and a 25-yard field goal by Janssen. The safety came after Princeville was stopped on fourth and goal from the 2-yard line. Princeville had 158 rushing yards, led by Zach Harrison’s 78 yards, and 45 yards passing. “Our defense is really keeping us in ballgames and our offense is close,” Carruthers said. “We’re still waiting for the game where the offense puts it all together.” That could be Friday when Princeville travels to Mid-County (3-4, 2-3).

Playoff party underway for Princes, Trojans Princeville ‘D’ shines
E-B offense plants Farmers
By JEFF LAMPE
By JEFF LAMPE
PRINCEVILLE – There will be no coin flip to earn a playoff berth this time around. No need for that with the type of suffocating defense Princeville has played this season. On a Homecoming night when offensive fireworks were few and far between, Princeville (6-1, 4-1 Lincoln Trail) earned its first playoff berth in four years with a 12-7 win over slumping Annawan-Wethersfield (3-4, 1-4). “Our defense is playing lights out,” said Princeville coach Jon Carruthers, who was in a deer stand when that playoff-deciding coin flip occurred four years ago. “The monkey is off our back now, but we still want a home playoff game and we’re still alive for a conference title.” With the win, the Princes kept alive their shot at sharing the LTC title – which could well be decided in two weeks in a season-ending home game against unbeaten Stark County. More to the point, the victory earned Princeville an automatic playoff berth and proved yet again just how strong the Princes are on the de-
FARMINGTON – This was no game for defensive purists. But for pure offense, Friday’s shootout between Elmwood-Brimfield and Farmington was well worth watching. That was particularly true for fans of the Trojans (6-1, 5-0), whose first-string offense scored on all but one possession in a 63-34 win over the Farmers. E-B racked up 371 rushing yards and 462 yards overall to clinch its fourth straight Prairieland Blue Conference title and fifth straight playoff berth. The win also avenged Farmington’s Max two losses to Farming- Balagna left the game in the first quarter ton (3-4, 3-2) last seawith a sprained ankle son. In those games, the and did not return.

Trojans on Class 2A/3A bubble
Will Elmwood-Brimfield wind up the smallest playoff team in Class 3A? Or the largest in Class 2A? Will Farmington win its final two games to earn a postseason berth? Will Princeville play a home game in the first round? All those questions and more are yet to be answered. But if the season ended now, Princeville (6-1) and E-B (6-1) would be in the playoffs. And after weeks of being listed as

After earning No. 2 berths, Princeville and Farmington are the top-seeded area volleyball teams as regional play approaches.

one of the smallest Class 3A teams, the Trojans (enrollment 402) are presently the largest Class 2A qualifiers according to the Illinois High School Association website. “That happens a lot this time of year as the smaller teams drop out,” E-B coach Todd Hollis said.

In its most recent action, Princeville defeated Stark County last Wednesday, 25-20, 25-14. Lucy Waid had eight kills, Claire Berchtold had 12 assists, Anna Schupbach had three aces and Brooke Gardner had three digs. Overall this season, Gardner leads the team with 142 kills and 22 aces, Berchtold has 166 assists, Bridget Talley is tops with 78 digs and Lucy Waid has 30.5 blocks.
